Shuoyun Feidu

Afterwards, it rained two times in a row. The weather was good that day. The birds and swallows were chirping. Beitang Rongdu pushed open the window and suddenly felt the fragrance of lotus blossoms in the morning wind. When I went there, I saw the wind and lotus under the lotus platform in the distance, the green leaves and flowers on the lake, and the water birds flapping their wings and floating among the large lotus seas, splashing a few strings of crystal water drops, which looked very clear in the morning light. Especially seductive and cute, Beitang Rongdu turned his head unconsciously, looked at Shen Hanyan who was being dressed and washed by the palace servants in the hall, smiled and said: "It seems that it is not so hot today, then, since it is Yu Orchid Penhui, how about going out for a walk with me that night?"

At this time, it was the time when the morning light was shining, and the hall was as quiet as a pool of quiet water without waves, only the slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other from time to time. Shen Hanyan was sitting in front of the mirror, and behind him was a more mature woman. The palace maid was pulling his hair with a rhino horn comb. Shen Hanyan's eyes were as bright as crystals. He reached out and casually touched the water in a glass vat next to the dressing table. One or two pink water lilies bloomed in it. Qing Lingbitou, a few koi swimming around in it, was frightened by him to flick the water, and Shen Hanyan couldn't help smiling when he saw it, which only made people feel calm and peaceful. Then he followed Beitang Rongdu's words and said, "Oh? It turns out that today is the Hungry Ghost Festival...but I almost forgot about it." Beitang Rongdu looked back, eyes like autumn dew Concentrating brightly, he joked, "Why is your memory so bad, you're living in a muddle."

At this moment, the time was quiet, and Shen Hanyan stretched out his hand, and a little maid put an emerald finger on his thumb, and then turned his eyes to look at Rongdu in Beitang not far away, with sporadic spots on his smooth forehead. Covering a few strands of broken hair, he said with a smile: "...Could it be because I'm getting older?" Beitang Rongdu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, his eyebrows were black, and he looked quite heroic, and he laughed and said: "You How old are you, and you have the nerve to say that you are old? Just pretend to be old-fashioned in front of me!"

There is a little coolness in the breeze, and it contains the fresh breath of lotus. Such a fine day has filtered out most of the dryness of midsummer. The two talked and laughed for a while. Yaban, coupled with pipa, sang in a gazebo across the water, making the melodious singing faintly transmitted through the lake, and it was really pleasant to listen to. Beitang Rongdu gently clapped his hands in time He also ordered someone to set up a meal, and his appetite seemed to improve a bit just by listening to the melody.

In the evening, the two of them went out of the palace together to relax. They were both dressed in casual clothes and dressed like ordinary rich men. This Ghost Festival has the meaning of paying homage to the dead. The shops are brightly lit, and there are red posters and lanterns everywhere. There are also altars set up, rewarding gods, and offering sacrifices. There are also opera singing stages in the streets and alleys to add to the fun. It is a lively scene. The two are used to seeing the scene of wealth and grace since they were young. Today, folk scenes like this , although it is unavoidably crude, but there is more of an easy-going and lively daily life, which is somewhat attractive to the eyes. Zhang Yang, with a few white plum blossoms rendered on the folding fan with fine brushwork, looked at the pedestrians on the left and right, smiled at Beitang Rongdu next to him, and said, "It's very lively tonight." Beitang Rongdu curled his lips slightly, but He said with a smile: "Tonight, in the middle of the night, it happens to be the time when the gate of hell is wide open, so we can't wander outside for too long, we have to go home and sleep in time." Shen Hanyan laughed, and shook the fan backhand , his eyes were like waves, vaguely like a falling moon, and he joked: "Could it be that Beitang is still afraid of ghosts?" : "Since I was a child, I don't know how many lives I have in my hands. If I am afraid of ghosts, will I still be alive?"

Shen Hanyan also smiled, but inadvertently saw the candied haws that Beitang Rongdu likes to eat at a stall in front of him, so he walked over, asked the price, and picked a bunch of big ones, and then touched them from his sleeve. A few copper coins were handed to the old man selling candied haws. When he took the things in his hand, he turned his head and saw Rongdu in the Beitang not far away bending over to help a five or six-year-old boy from the ground. Picking up the kid's grimace mask that fell on the ground and handing it over, he didn't know what he was talking about. The boy smiled through tears, took the mask and ran away quickly. Beitang Rongdu stood there, his skin was as delicate as porcelain, White clothes, plain sleeves, and a slender figure, just smiled, black hair like a cloud, eyebrows meandering like emerald mountains, Shen Hanyan's heart throbbed for no reason for a moment, and an indescribable feeling arose spontaneously, just This glance actually made his heart flutter, and he couldn't help but his heart turned a thousand times, but he just walked back to Beitang Rongdu, handed the candied haws in his hand to him, and said with a smile: "I picked the biggest bunch. "

Beitang Rongdu brought it over and took a bite, and it tasted sour and sweet, so he smiled and said, "It tastes good, it's better if you treat me." Shen Hanyan looked at his unreserved smile, wondering Thinking of something, I suddenly feel a little melancholy in my heart. I put the fan behind my back and sighed slightly: "How do I treat you? You are the one who treats me very well...Beitang, sometimes I often ask myself, I Shen Hanyan Is it really worthy of your love? You have a bright future, but I am just an ordinary person in the final analysis. I used to think that you and I would have no results. I just hoped that I could spend my life in peace, but now you give Mine is beyond my imagination, it seems that I already have everything..." Beitang Rongdu never thought that he would suddenly mention these things, so he said: "Why are you talking about these things all of a sudden..." Shen Hanyan smiled, He stretched out his hand to smooth Beitang Rongdu's temples calmly, his movements were brisk, and there was an indescribable warmth and calmness in his demeanor, and said: "I don't know how to say sweet words, and you and I have always had nothing to do. , eachother, but Beitang, although I know you won't do everything for me, but I can, but unfortunately you and I are both men and cannot have children for each other, but I have never regretted it , I said before that I don't care how you treat me, whether you have me in your heart or not, but that's all a lie. What I want most is your heart, your friendship, and even your whole being. I hope You are mine, and you will always be mine..." The young man suddenly smiled indifferently at this point, his eyes became colder and colder in the radiant night, and were diluted by the watery moonlight to create an intoxicating color, and said : "...Actually, I shouldn't have said this to you. I was a little slip of the tongue. It's just that I haven't had any real friends since I was a child. You are the only one who can confide and speak seriously."

It was the first time that Beitang Rongdu saw him express his emotions and open his heart like this. He felt a little inexplicable in his heart for a moment, and shook his head and said, "This is not a slip of the tongue. If you think about it this way, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes, what's your matter, you naturally have to tell me, why shouldn't it be?" Shen Hanyan didn't respond immediately, just looked at the passers-by who seemed to be coming and going, let the night be silent like a pair of wings, slipping Looking at the brows and face, after a while, he looked at Beitang Rongdu and said, "Beitang, you are very good. No matter in the past, now or in the future, there will be many people who like you, either because you are knowledgeable, or because you are beautiful. It's normal, with your power and position, you can do whatever you want, I can predict this, and I don't care, the fate of people is probably really so strange, but..."

The moonlight is like a layer of light silver tulle, enveloping the earth in this soft twilight. The young man stands there, his skin is crystal clear and moist like jade, his body is as straight as a bamboo, and his figure is long. He is not Beitang Rongdu That kind of shocking and shocking beauty is more similar to a jade statue. It is an elegant and gentle peerless beautiful man, enough to make people willing to give up everything for it... Shen Hanyan took a long breath silently in his heart, and suddenly let out a soft voice. Laughing, he continued: "...It's just that, Beitang, when I was not weak, I once asked myself, would the person you like the most be me? But now that I'm at this age, I don't think about it anymore. I know if it is true, but if one day I really ask you this, then no matter what you think in your heart, whether the answer is yes or no, can you tell me that the person you like the most has always been I sink into Han Yan? Even...you are lying to me."

Beitang Rongdu listened to these words, his eyes were fixed, and he looked at the young man's face carefully, as if he was meeting him for the first time. After a while, he suddenly smiled, shook his head and said: "Han Yan, I I've been with you for so long, but I didn't know until now that I actually don't fully understand you..." Shen Hanyan shook the young man's hand, his eyes were as bright as stars, he just smiled and didn't speak, Beitang Rongdu walked leisurely hand in hand.

The two were walking in the crowd, and after a while, they saw a crowd of people in front of them, and they were singing a peony pavilion. The two stopped and looked at it for a while. Shen Hanyan suddenly said: "Tonight is Yu Lan." For the basin meeting, it’s time to set up river lanterns.” The river lanterns are also called lotus lanterns, and most of them are colorful lanterns made of wooden boards and five-color paper. There are lamps or candles on the base, and they are placed on Among the rivers, lakes and seas, drifting along the water, it is said that all undead souls can be transported to the other side, is an indispensable thing tonight, so Beitang Rongdu nodded and said: "Naturally, I will buy two " Shen Hanyan said: "No need, I'll go." Beitang Rongdu pressed his shoulder and said, "Just wait here for a while, and I'll come when I go." Saying that, he went to the side of the street Look in the shop to see where there is a river lantern.

After Shen Hanyan saw Beitang Rongdu go away, he turned around and merged into the crowd, and walked to a remote alley not far away. In the corner of the corner, there was a person in gray clothes, hidden In the dark shadows, he bowed and said: "...I have seen you, young master." Shen Hanyan looked cold and said something, the man kept listening with his hands down, and then talked with the young man, and then his lips moved slightly, He frowned and said something, but suddenly there was only a crisp sound of 'pop', and there was a sudden twitching sound in the secluded alley, and Shen Hanyan withdrew his right palm at some point, It was already a heavy slap on the face of the man in gray.

This sudden beating made blood ooze from the corners of the man's mouth, and his teeth were slightly loose. Shen Hanyan's face was still elegant, but his complexion had become ice-cold, like frost, and his deep and cold eyes were straight. Piercing into the eyes of the other party, he said coldly: "Beitang is my man, you are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks! I make my own decisions about everything, and you don't need to point fingers... If you touch him again... , I will do what I say, and I will concoct you!"

When the young man spoke, his words were tinged with coldness. Although his demeanor was still elegant and calm, there seemed to be a ball of anger burning in his eyes. There was no trace of warmth in his pitch-black eyes, and he only spat out warning words from his lips word by word. The man bowed his head deeply, and said: "...The subordinates know." Without saying a word, Shen Hanyan's eyes were cold and silent, and he said: "Slap your mouth ten times, and remember it long!" The man immediately raised his right hand and slapped himself ten times in a row. Shen Hanyan saw him and said nothing more. After a while, he whispered a few more words, then left the alley and walked back to the place just now.

But after a while, Beitang Rongdu walked back quickly with two river lanterns in his hand, and said: "I went to several shops and picked a lot one by one, but I didn't find them satisfactory. I just think it’s rough, so it’s better to get these two after so much effort.” Shen Hanyan smiled and said: “You’ve been used to seeing good things since you were a child, and it’s so easy to find something that you like on the street. See? It’s fine to pick a few more delicate ones.” As he spoke, he took a lamp from Beitang Rongdu, saw that it was really exquisitely made, and was very attractive, so he suggested with a smile: “ Then let's go and light the lanterns." Naturally, Beitang Rongdu had no objection, the two talked and laughed as they walked, and went to the direction of the river, only to see that the river was wide open, the water flow was gentle, and there were countless people carrying lanterns. The colorful lights floated along the water, and the two smiled at each other, found a place to put their lights in the water, and let them go with the water.

……

After the Hungry Ghost Festival, Beitang Rongdu began to retreat, and it took more than half a month before he finally came out of the closed room. After bathing and changing clothes, he had some snacks, which relieved his fatigue and sat down On the chair, while letting the two little palace maids beat his legs for him, savoring the gains from half a month of retreat, he casually asked with a smile: "... How are we in the palace these days?" Holding a plate of fresh lychees, he said with a smile, "With the young master taking care of it, there is no mistake." Beitang Rongdu opened his mouth to take Bai Shengsheng's flesh from her hand, and said lazily: "Well, he always I don't need to worry about doing things..." Cuiping chatted with Beitang Rongdu from the side with a smile, but suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, my master is not out recently, so I don't think I know that the king is going to the palace. , There are some new things recently." Beitang Rongdu became a little interested, and couldn't help asking: "Oh? What's the matter, let's hear it."

Cuiping's scallion-like nails are painted with silver-red Kodan, which stands out against the crystal-clear snow-like flesh. He only smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it was about thirteen or fourteen days ago...the Lord still Do you remember when the lord of Fanye City died in Liaohai and the city was broken, and a pair of children were sent to the palace?" Beitang Rong Du said lightly, "Of course I remember."

There were servants and maids standing around like wooden carvings, only to hear the cicadas singing from outside, Cuiping said with a smile: "That's it, the younger brother among the two siblings a few days ago is called Yu Dansheng. Yes, but at the age of ten years old, I accidentally fell into the Taiye Lake that afternoon, and after I fished it up, I passed out at that time, but I only passed out for a whole day, and I was saved in the end, who knows? After I got it, it seemed that my temperament changed a little. After staying in the house for two days, I suddenly started to play with some weird things, such as sawdust and sulfur, which seemed to be... fried demons? One day Hearing a 'boom' in his room, the nearby guards rushed in and saw that most of the table was burned, but the person only suffered a small injury on the back of his hand..."

Beitang Rongdu listened, but felt that he seemed very familiar, so he frowned and asked: "...What happened later?" Cuiping continued with a smile: "What happened later, since the harem came out Naturally, the matter had to be reported, so some guards escorted Yu Dansheng to the king, waiting to be dealt with, but fortunately, it didn't seem to be a big deal, the king had summoned this young man before, so he mentioned it casually , I was going to sleep with Dan Sheng that night, who knew that this person didn't know what to do, after that he made some novelties all day long, and I heard that reciting poems and writing lyrics is also very good, he is actually a talented person, and he can tinker with rare things , but gradually won the favor of the king..." When Beitang Rongdu heard this, his fingertips slid across the dense and well-arranged patterns on the cuffs, and he knew it clearly in his heart, like a mirror, knowing this so-called Yu Dansheng, I'm afraid he's not the original one anymore, he must be from the same place as himself... Beitang Rongdu's face was pale, he pursed his thin lips slightly and thought for a while, then waved his hand to signal everyone to go out, and only told Cuiping to say: : "Let people enter the palace, go and ask the security guard to take a look at the time and come to see me quickly."

With Beitang Rongdu's current status and influence, there would naturally be some eyeliners in the palace. Among them, the security guard was a high-ranking servant next to Beitang Zunyue, so he was naturally clear-eyed and well-informed.After a long time, I saw a big eunuch in red robes bowing and walking quickly into the hall, and said with folded arms, "...I have seen the son." Beitang Rongdu nodded, and Cuiping on the side stepped back far away. , only guarding under the green bamboo curtain at the entrance of the hall, Beitang Rongdu sat in front of an ebony carved hibiscus embroidered screen, gently clasped the armrest of the chair with the knuckles of one hand, and wore a coiled flower between his fingers. The hard gold ring was tapped on the smooth wood one after another, and he said directly: "...I just came out of retreat, and I heard that my father has a male pet named Yu Dansheng by his side recently. Tell me... By the way, what happened the night my father called him to sleep with him?" The An Guan waiter listened to his question, and immediately said: "If you go back to the son, it will be a big disaster for Dan Sheng Everyone said that if you don't die, you will have future blessings, but on the night when you were summoned, you made a lot of trouble and didn't want to go to bed. Afterwards, the king was a little displeased. It's flattering, and a few days ago I had to dig sand and burn some 'glass', but although I didn't get anything out, it still made the king smile, and I've been serving around Wang Jia for a while, so it's a bit of a limelight." Speaking of this , looked carefully at Beitang Rongdu, then looked down at the toe of his boots, and said respectfully: "I have a word, I didn't know whether to say it or not, but I didn't dare to deceive the master... This is according to Dansheng. From the slave's point of view, he is thoughtful, but I'm afraid he has big eyes and big hearts."

When Beitang Rongdu heard this, he kept silent and only knew what he knew. Suddenly, he knocked on the armrest of the chair twice and said, "Okay, I got it...you can tell me more about it." Then he smiled lightly and said: "Big eyes and big heart? Why, he's just a male favorite, maybe he also wants to gain power?" The security guard bowed his head in response, and then he explained everything he knew in detail said.

Not long after, Beitang Rongdu stood up and said: "...you go back to the palace." He said, exhaled a little, his face showed a little bright color - the emperor's house was originally like this, let alone the ordinary He doesn't care if men and women love each other, but...Beitang Rong Du straightened his collar and said to Cuiping outside the hall: "Have someone prepare a car for me... I'm going to the palace."

After Beitang Rongdu changed his clothes, he went to the palace to pay his respects as usual. When he arrived at Qianying Palace, no one would stop him, and he didn't even need to pass it on. honor him.

Beitang Rongdu walked slowly, walked through the long corridor and entered inside, only heard the quiet and fragrant atmosphere in the hall, but saw Beitang Zunyue was meditating with his eyes closed, Beitang Rongdu didn't bother him, he opened a door and a half The open vermilion flower window, the afternoon sun is sparse, scattered golden light and shadows are cast on the exquisitely carved window, some dazzling pieces are folded down, and Beitang Rongdu uses his fingers to look through the window. He caressed the grid slowly, and his heart was quite quiet. In such a quiet time, he was quietly thinking about how to solve some small troubles. At this moment, a pair of powerful arms circled behind him without warning. At the same time, he heard someone laughing in a low voice: "...Have you made any progress during this period of retreat?"

Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly, flicked his cuff casually, revealing a section of his wrist, surrounded by a string of lapis lazuli, engraved with shallow lines, gathered into a mottled appearance, only a faint 'hmm', smiled and said: "Naturally, there is progress." Beitang Zunyue embraced the young man from behind, his sharp brows and eyes seemed to soften a little, and he smiled for no reason, and said, "Oh? If this is the case, then let Ben Wang, try it, have you really improved?" Beitang Rongdu turned and pushed him away, and said with a smile: "Who cares about you, it's a hot day, I'm crazy to fight you, sweating all over." Yue snorted, and lightly reprimanded: "Lazy and slippery!"

Beitang Rongdu laughed when he heard the words, stretched out his arms to embrace the man, and deliberately blew his soft breath into the other's ear, saying: "I'm not an ungodly person, it's not that I want to keep it Have some energy, so you can use it on the knife later?...I haven't seen you for half a month, don't you miss me?" Hearing this, Beitang Zunyue couldn't understand what Beitang Rongdu meant. Therefore, he raised Beitang Rongdu's chin slightly, and teased, "... so proactive?" Beitang Rongdu sighed, glanced lazily at Beitang Zunyue, still smiling, and said, "Worry, I think How can you always be clear about it, if you don’t play around with those beating around the bush, you’re still not enough, what else can you think of to make yourself happy?” Venerable Beitang laughed more, and pressed him against the wall next to him with one hand, making that With his back against the cold wall, Beitang Rongdu immediately knew what this man wanted to do, and hummed, "Can't you go to the bed?" Beitang Zun Yue sneered, "Isn't it nice here? Cool off." Although Beitang Rongdu complained, the smile that surfaced on his lips was undisguised, he wrapped his hands around his father's waist, pressed his chin on his strong shoulders, and laughed softly: "Okay Well, do as you please... Anyway, you have the final say."

The two stood in front of the wall like this, embracing each other, with Beitang Rongdu leaning his back against the hard wall and embracing Beitang Zunyue's neck, squinting slightly to appreciate the warmth and skill of Beitang Zunyue's hands, while He smiled in his ear and said, "Hey, speaking of it, I have been in retreat for a while, and I dreamed of what I did with you back then... It stands to reason that the most fearful thing for men to do is to be too hard and get hurt easily, but you Just for the sake of face, I tried my best to be unlucky, and I wanted to hurt both sides, but it turned out that when I dreamed about this the other day, I woke up with fright..." Beitang Zun Yue rebuked with a slightly annoyed expression: "Could it be that if you don't talk, Can this king treat you as dumb?" Beitang Rongdu rubbed the man's firm belly slightly, and immediately heard a light gasp as he wished, and said, "You still said that I am the most embarrassing, and you concocted it You lost half of your life, and you saw all the shameless and spineless appearance..." Beitang Zunyue smiled deeply, and pressed Beitang Rongdu against the wall tightly, entangled his lips, for a long while, The two gradually calmed down.

Beitang Rongdu let out a long breath, took out brocade handkerchiefs to wipe each other, and then tidied up the clothes a little, and then took the time to straighten his belt, and said calmly: "By the way, I heard that the palace seems to be There's a young man named Yu Dansheng serving you?" Beitang Zunyue's eyes slightly glowed like phosphorus, and he burst into a smile, as if casually said: "...why, are you jealous?"

Beitang Rongdu raised his eyebrows, and said, "Jealous? I, Beitang Rongdu, never know how to write these two words..." He leaned forward and bit Beitang Zunyue's thin lips lightly, and said: " From the day you and I were together, we have been together. Of course, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, beautiful or ugly, you have the right to hug left and right, and I also have the right to play with me , the two of us, neither of us will forcefully interfere with each other."

When Beitang Rongdu said this, he suddenly smiled proudly, and said: "However, in front of me, Beitang Rongdu, if you are as beautiful as jade or as beautiful as a fairy, if I am not happy, then all of you should be shunned. You have to get away from me, just because you are my man, no one can get even a little bit of your attention from me... because I am absolutely capable of doing all of this, this is my North Tang Rongdu's self-confidence.
